04/20/22 - Andrew Adair, rJr/2026, Charlotte + More +

Before Andrew Adair entered the transfer portal, he was a little worried about how it was going to go. He had heard about some players getting "stuck" in the portal, not receiving any offers and didn't want that to be him. After his paperwork went through, the former Liberty offensive lineman's phone started to light up. Adair then quickly realized that he wasn't going to end up with the worst case scenario he had heard about. Within five or 10 minutes of officially being in the transfer portal, Adair had almost 100 direct messages. His time in the portal was almost as quick, announcing his decision to leave the Flames via social media on Wednesday, receiving an offer from James Madison that night and was on a visit in Harrisonburg on Thursday afternoon. Adair watched the Dukes' spring practice from the sideline and less than 24 hours later, he announced his decision to commit to JMU on Friday morning through Twitter. - Daily News-Record

Chris Reynolds and Elijah Spencer connected late in regulation to tie it and again in overtime for the win and Charlotte rallied late to beat Rice 31-24 on Saturday. Ari Broussard's scoring run from the 2 with 6:35 left ended a 16-play, 84-yard drive that lasted 9 1/2 minutes and Rice led 24-14. Jonathan Cruz kicked a 32-yard field goal to reduce Charlotte's (5-4, 3-2 Conference USA) deficit to a touchdown. The 49ers' defense forced a punt in a 1:40 possession for Rice, then Reynolds led a five-play, 80-yard drive in 75 seconds that ended with his 8-yard scoring pass to Spencer to knot it with 1:14 left and force the extra session. The duo then connected on the first play of overtime when Spencer ran a slant and broke a tackle in the middle of the field for a 25-yard score. Linebacker Luke Martin sealed the win with an interception of Jake Constantine who was under heavy pressure. Broussard ran for 186 yards on 20 carries and scored twice and Jake Bailey had seven receptions for 143 receiving yards for the Owls (3-6, 2-3). - AP College Football

Chris Reynolds passed for 203 yards and four touchdowns, Shadrick Byrd had two long kickoff returns that led to points and Charlotte defeated Florida International 45-33 on Friday night. An interception returned 39 yards for a touchdown by Jon Alexander with 5:45 left in the game sealed the win for Charlotte, although FIU scored again on a one-play, 75-yard drive in 10 seconds and then appeared to recover an onside kick before losing it to an illegal touch penalty. The 49ers (4-2, 2-0 Conference USA) earned their first road win this season and are off to a 2-0 conference start for the first time. Charlotte has its best start to any season at the FBS level.

Charlotte opened the second half with a crisp, three-minute drive ending with a 22-yard scoring pass down the seam from Reynolds to Victor Tucker, extending their lead to 24-6. Reynolds was 4-for-4 passing on the drive, the TD catch was Tucker's 13th. FIU (1-5, 0-2) responded in two plays, cutting the gap to 24-13 after a 25-yard run up the middle by D'vonte Price and a 50-yard scoring heave from Max Bortenschlager to Kris Mitchell, who caught the ball in stride at about the 6. Price, who finished with 89 yards rushing, became the sixth FIU player to gain more than 2,000 career rushing yards. - Charlotte/AP College Football
